>> For us, that means:
>>
>> - Do we want to participate again?
>> - If so, who's interested in mentoring?
>> - And of course, we need some good ideas :)
>>
>> I've made some quick updates of the GSoC wiki page:
>>
>>  http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code
>>
>> Mostly just moving the 2009 content out of the way. I've also added a
>> link to a new Brainstorming page where we can collect ideas.
>>
>>
>> Regarding mentors: I was thinking that maybe this year we could try the
>> idea of having more than one mentor per student. At the very least, a
>> backup mentor. In the past, students mostly only communicated with their
>> respective mentor and not a lot with the community. So from the
>> community's point of view, the end result came as a bit of a surprise.
>>
>> I was thinking that with additional mentors, there would automatically
>> be more communication and that it could spread out to the community more
>> easily. With a second mentor, there's a better chance of finding one
>> who's free to discuss things, to try things out, or to reach out to the
>> community for feedback. The backup mentor role may also be of interest
>> for some of our former students who may not be comfortable with becoming
>> a mentor yet, but are willing to help a fellow student get into the
>> project.
>>
>> At least that's the theory. What do you think?
>>
>> As a consequence, I was thinking we should ask for less students this
>> year. The two slots for AptitudeCMS are, obviously, gone anyway. But I
>> was thinking that we should only take on 4 or even 3 students and
>> instead concentrate on getting something from them that not only works
>> by the end of the programme but something that's already in a state that
>> it can be integrated more easily.
